Does anyone have an leads on positions in Academic Advising??

I have to finish three clases and I will have a degree in Guidance and Counseling. I work in Career Services so I have work experience on giving advice and guidance but I want to concentrated more in Academics. I completed my practicum hours at a local community college and have been working in higher education for 7+ years now.

I live in IL. Southwest suburbs of Chicago.

Any leads would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

Hi,
I have no specific leads, but if you haven't already check into the following, it might help get you started.
1. Call your Local Public School Board, find any info you can on possible jobs.
2. Contact the University of Chicago, and talk with them about a possible position as an Academic Advisor.
3. Also check with the Illinois Employment Commission, if there is such a thing, and look for any job openings in that field. (might be called something else), in VA, it's the VA Employment Commission, and Job Placement Services.
I do wish you the best.

Most academic advisors are hired by specific institutions. The Chronicle of Higher Education has a listing of academic advising job openings that can be sorted by location. I would highly recommend that you go there and take a look.
